Meet your candidates here: Vice President - Emily Sagers Emily has served as your membership director and will be moving to the VP position. Secretary - Marion Wheaton "My name is Marion Wheaton from Woodland Utah. As a retired Registered Nurse I enjoy working on our ranch with my husband Bob and riding my 4 yr old Andalusian/Mustang cross Atticus aka Andy. I am new to the sport of dressage and the Utah Dressage Society. It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to serve as Secretary for the Utah Dressage Society. If elected I look forward to working with the board and membership to further the mission of UDS and promote/support the sport of dressage. Your vote of support will be appreciated. Respectfully, Marion” Director of Membership - Terrece Pearman “I am an adult amateur rider and have been a UDS member for over a decade. Some of you may have met me at shows competing my Danish Warmblood gelding, Allende. Last year, I added Quinault Bey (Quinn) to my little herd and hope to compete with him next year. I have served the UDS in past years as the Awards Tabulator and as a volunteer at various UDS recognized shows. I took some time off from my volunteer activities to focus on developing a law practice. This was a significant life change as I went from developing life science technologies in a laboratory to getting patents for the same types of technologies. It’s been an interesting and challenging experience, and I learned a lot along the way. I am now ready to again devote time to the Utah Dressage Society and use the added skills I’ve learned to help our organization. I am married-20 years this month! My husband and I are the parents of two orange tabby cats in addition to my horses. Best regards, Terrece Pearman” Director of Competitions/Events - Co-Chairs Ammie Lords & Clarissa Taggart “I am a riding instructor and I teach children the basics of dressage and eventing. I have been riding for 14 years and I am very interested in becoming more involved in the Utah dressage community. I try to volunteer in the English horse community in Utah whenever I can. For example, I try to make it a yearly thing to volunteer at the Event at Skyline. I think that I would be a good fit for this position because I am very good at logistics and organizing people. At the barn I teach at, Southern Belle Riding, I am in charge of organizing and running our barn's home shows. I draw up the schedule for the show, organize ride times, organize and oversee the volunteers, as well as other responsibilities. I hope that you consider me as a good fit for this position. Clarissa Taggart” “Riding for over 30 yrs. Competed hunter jumpers until 2009. Had my daughter in 2010 and starting training for Eventing in 2012 where I was introduced to dressage. Shattered my heal in 2014 and took a year off riding healing from two surgeries and an eventual fusion of my heal. In 2015 started riding again and 2017 started focusing more on dressage and less on jumping and Eventing. I still compete in jumping and Eventing but have been drawn to dressage the more I learn. Joined UDS last year and competed in some of the short tours and the recognized shows. I will be working toward my bronze next year. Ammie Lords” Director of Communications - Jasmine Beckstead Jasmine is your Incumbent director.

Championship classes will be held simultaneously. @ Zephyr Ranch 9466 S 400 E, Salem, UT 84653 CHAMPIONSHIP classes are offered at Intro-3, Training-3, First-3,and Second-3 to AA, JR/Yrs and Open riders. Freestyle championship classes through Second level are also offered. To qualify for year-end STS Championship classes, the following criteria must be met: 1. For the Final Short Tour Show, the competitor MUST be a UDS member on or before the day of the Short Tour Show. 2. The intent of the Short Tour is to give new dressage riders a learning opportunity, to explore their interest in the discipline. For this reason, any horse/rider combination may only show in the Short Tour Championships at or above the level at which they have shown in a USDF/USEF recognized show during that year. For example, if a horse/rider combination has shown at a USDF/USEF recognized show at third level, they may not compete at the Short Tour Championships at Second Level during the same competition year. They may still compete in the Short Tour show, they are just not eligible for a Championship at Second Level. 3. Automatic qualification and an invitation to show in the CHAMPIONSHIP class if you placed 1st through 3rd place or earned a minimum score of 58% at a Short Tour Show.

PLEASE MAKE SURE BOTH THE RIDER AND OWNER OF THE HORSE ARE CURRENT UDS MEMBERS! As the first USDF/USEF recognized show is under way today please ensure your membership is current to qualify for year end awards. Good luck this season!
